The mock streamed pre-tool assistant text on the Responses path without `phase: "commentary"`, the field the API sets and the transport reads, so the draft-proof scenario ran green while never exercising the preamble lane on that transport. Proven live on Telegram: the preamble now renders as the status headline, and as a commentary line when progress.commentary is on.
A progress draft only exists while the agent is working, and OpenClaw's exec
returns instantly for a mock tool call, so the whole turn finished in ~86ms —
inside the 1.5s draft gate. No draft was created, which is correct behavior but
proves nothing about rendering.
The draft-proof scenario now holds its final answer (MOCK_DRAFTPROOF_FINAL_DELAY_MS,
default 6s) so the turn straddles the gate. That is what made the live Discord
recording possible: draft created, edited with the status headline above the
tool line, replaced by the final answer, then deleted.
Three gates my own changes broke:
- docs/channels/telegram.md needed a blank line before </Note>; I formatted the
TypeScript but never ran the docs formatter over the pages I edited.
- The mock harness matched a literal with a regex, which oxlint's prefer-includes
rejects.
- Widening resolveChannelPreviewStreamMode's defaultMode to StreamingMode and
adding rendersRollingLinesNatively changes the exported plugin-SDK surface, so
the API baseline hash had to be regenerated.
Proving headline-plus-tool-line composition needs assistant text emitted
*before* a tool call: that leading text is what gets tagged as commentary and
rendered as the draft's status headline. The mock could only echo a single token,
so the draft path was unreachable without a live model.
Trigger `OPENCLAW_E2E_DRAFTPROOF` now serves two turns — preamble plus a shell
call, then the final answer — on both /v1/responses and /v1/chat/completions.
Only the completions transport tags commentary today, which is why the
completions path matters here.
Used to record the draft live on real Telegram: one message carrying the
headline above the tool line, the final answer, then the draft edited to its
receipt.
